Electrical Engineer
Location: Houston, TX
Type: Full-time | Onsite
Level: 5+ years’ experience
We’re supporting a rapidly growing technology company operating at the intersection of space systems, advanced energy storage, grid technology, and defense applications.
The team is building high-reliability electronic and power systems that must perform flawlessly in mission-critical environments - and they’re looking for an Electrical Engineer who is comfortable owning hardware from concept through to flight- and field-ready systems.
This is a hands-on engineering role. You will design, prototype, test, debug, iterate, refine and ultimately help deliver the next generation of power electronics, battery systems and control hardware.
Responsibilities
• Lead electrical design of PCB assemblies, power electronics, control boards and embedded hardware
• Build, test and debug your own prototypes using in-house tools, instrumentation and development equipment
• Develop schematics, layouts and hardware architectures for energy storage, power distribution and high-reliability electronics
• Execute board-level and system-level testing (functional, thermal, electrical, EMI/EMC, reliability) and feed results back into rapid design iteration
• Develop electrical architectures for battery modules, power systems, sensing interfaces and safety-critical electronics
• Own the full engineering lifecycle: requirements → schematics → layout → prototype → validation → release
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, thermal, software and systems engineers to deliver integrated hardware
• Support qualification efforts for aerospace, defense and grid-level applications
• Contribute to rapid development cycles where “test → iterate → test” is the standard approach
Requirements
• 5+ years electrical engineering experience in hardware product development
• Strong PCB design and layout capability (Altium, Cadence, OrCAD or similar)
• Proven hands-on ability to prototype, assemble, instrument, and debug electronic hardware
• Experience with one or more: power electronics, battery systems, BMS, sensing/DAQ, embedded hardware, analog/digital design
• Ability to read schematics, design circuits, and troubleshoot down to component level
• Comfort working in fast development cycles with limited information and evolving requirements
• Understanding of high-reliability hardware for space, defense, or mission-critical energy systems
• Familiarity with electrical safety, testing standards, and DFM/DFT principles
• Commutable or local to Houston, TX
